(1) The name of each ingredient or collective term for the grouping of ingredients, when required to be listed, shall be the name as defined in the official definitions of feed ingredients as published annually in the Official Publication of the Association of American Feed Control Officials, the common or usual name, or one approved by the director. (2) The name of each ingredient must be shown in letters or type of the same size. (3) No reference to quality or grade of an ingredient shall appear in the ingredient statement of a feed. (4) The term dehydrated may precede the name of any products that have been artificially dried. (5) A single ingredient product as established by 2 CSR 70-30.015, is not required to have an ingredient statement. (6) Tentative definitions for ingredients, as established in 2 CSR 70-30.015, shall not be used until adopted as official, unless no official definition exists or the ingredient has a common accepted name that requires no definition (for example, sugar). (7) When the word iodized is used in connection with a feed ingredient, the feed ingredient shall contain not less than seven thousandths percent (0.007%) iodine, uniformly distributed.
